The annual Children’s Day Festival at Jackson Park in Hendersonville has been rescheduled for noon to 6 p.m. May 19 after the event was canceled because of rain on April 28. This was the first time in 14 years that inclement weather caused the cancellation of the celebration.

The event offers activities, games, raffles and prizes. Organizers said the festival also will strengthen relationships within the community by providing information, resources and services along with the activities for children and families, while highlighting Latino cultural dance and food.

The Children’s Day Festival received support from the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources, and is administered by the Arts Council of Henderson County.
